    …Now one of the owners… wants to call a general meeting to discuss the issue on which a few of us are seeking mediation and due process.  Can this party call a general meeting on the same issue… Would have thought after the mediation would be a good time for a general meeting if everyone wants that?   

    In the ACT, and probably similar elsewhere, it is possible to force the EC to call a general meeting with a petition signed by 25% of the owners. The petition must specify the matter to be put on the agenda. Otherwise, an individual could ask the EC to call a general meeting. If the EC is persuaded to do so, then it can but it is not obliged without the 25% petition. Of course the AGM must occur approx. 1 year after the last one (details vary from state to state about how much wobble room there is and other constraints on the timing).
